Discussion on the clinical management of granulomatous mastitis based on theory of latent pathogens*
Granulomatous mastitis is a nonspecific benign inflammatory breast disease with a long disease course
mostly occurring in women during the non-lactation period. The etiology is unknown
and it is easy to be misdiagnosed and treated in a wrong way. In recent years
its incidence has been on the rise. In traditional Chinese medicine
granulomatous mastitis falls into the category of "nonpuerperal mammary carbuncles" and "mammary fistula"
and TCM has achieved a certain curative effect in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. This paper discusses the treatment of granulomatous mastitis based on the "theory of latent pathogens" . Syndrome differentiation and stage-based treatment is put forward: In the acute phase
clear heat and dissolve phlegm to dissipate pathogens; In the subacute phase
warm yang and unblock collaterals to dissipate pathogens; In the chronic phase
nourish qi
unblock collaterals and dissipate phlegm to dispel pathogens. Moreover
in combination with the therapeutic concept of timely surgical operations
the latent pathogens would scatter and be removed. This paper offers new treatment ideas for the clinical treatment of this disease.
